Kyden Barker – QB – 2026 – Clear Falls HS
Barker showed why he’s one of the top returning passers in Texas. He has a strong arm, clean mechanics, and the ability to thread throws into tight windows. He was accurate at all levels and delivered the ball with great touch. Barker holds offers from UNLV, Colorado State, UTSA, North Texas, Sam Houston State, Tulane, and Texas State.
Donovan Warren – QB – 2028 – Houston Episcopal HS
Warren impressed with his arm strength and decision-making. He showed the ability to make throws outside the numbers with zip and accuracy and wasn’t afraid to test tight coverage windows. The rising sophomore is definitely a name to watch moving forward.
Tyler Williams – WR – 2028 – Houston Episcopal
Williams is a long, athletic receiver with strong hands and clean route-running ability. At 6-foot-2, 170 pounds, he has a large catch radius and showed strong concentration in contested situations. Another young standout with a bright future.
Patrick Spann – RB – 2026 – Katy Jordan HS
Spann was one of the most complete backs at the showcase. He flashed versatility as a pass catcher, ran polished routes, and showed strong hands in 1v1s. As a runner, he displayed quickness, clean footwork, and elusive cuts. Expect Spann’s stock to rise this offseason.
Trevon Johnson – RB – 2027 – Tomball HS
Johnson turned in one of the day’s most well-rounded RB performances. With smooth movement, great balance, and sharp cuts, he was tough to handle in drills. He’s a strong, compact runner (5-foot-11, 200 pounds) with speed and polished route running ability. A complete back with high upside. Keep an eye on him this season at Tomball.
Konner Dandridge – WR – 2026 – Bridgeland HS
Dandridge had a standout camp. A crisp route runner with explosive get-off, he made several contested grabs and proved reliable in tight coverage. At 6-foot, 175 pounds, he’s a polished wideout who helped lead Bridgeland on a deep playoff run in 2024. He recently picked up an offer from Missouri Southern. He is having an excellent offseason on the 7v7 circuit, showing that he is a WR prospect that colleges need to get eyes on. He is a next level talent.
